Notes

The Sixteen explores a stunning collection of festive works from the Renaissance capturing the joy and sincerity of this most wonderful of seasons. From the delightful simplicity of plainsong chants Resonemus laudibus and Veni, veni Emmanuel to the shining purity of Lassus' polyphonic Videntes stellam Magi and Byrd's jubilant This day Christ was born, this album provides a perfect alternative to traditional carols for those looking for something a little different at Christmas.

Reviews

"...The Sixteen's ebulliently pulsing performance ['Resonemus Laudibus'] gets A Renaissance Christmas off to an energentic start ... The darker elements of the Christmas story are examined too, notably in George Kirbye's 'Vox in Rama' ... This is given a moodily atmospheric reading by Harry Christophers's singers, as is the brooding plainchant 'Crudelis Herodes'. ****
